THE ROBERT W. WHITAKER ARCHIVE

I got another of those email exchanges between rightist "leaders" that concluded with "I'll show 'em, I'll surrender." I hear it all the time and I'm sick of it.

For the few who don't get what I am talking about, I am referring to pro-white Southerners who groan that the enemy is too large. These snivelers tell us that, while they themselves are basically great heroes, they feel the Honorable and Practical thing to do right now is give up.

"Hold me back, hold me back!!!" they shout, and they tell us they would be great fighters, but it's all hopeless, so they recommend that we all go into a fetal position with them.

They call this realism. I call it sniveling.
